Pipe Track

The Pipe Track follows an old water-pipe route along the contour of Table Mountain's western face, from Kloof Nek toward Camps Bay and the Twelve Apostles. Unlike most Table Mountain routes it stays roughly level rather than climbing to the summit, making it one of the more accessible hikes in the national park, with steady views over Lion's Head, Camps Bay and Bakoven. Contact the reserve for current trail conditions, or enquire below.
